Additional information

Toqtamish seized the Golden Horde throne in the early 1380s with Timurid backing, then spent the rest of the decade trying to break free of it. The Ordu mint — a traveling administrative center rather than a fixed city — issued dirhams during precisely the window when Toqtamish was consolidating his hold over both the western and eastern wings of the ulus and pressing his claim against Timur himself. The confrontation would end badly: Timur sacked Sarai in 1395 and effectively ended the Horde as a functioning polity.

Sagdeeva 409 is among the rarer Ordu-mint attributions for this reign, reflecting the logistical irregularity of a mobile mint operating during active campaigning.
